Improvement in gas or lamp fixtures



UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.

BERNHARDT T. STEINHARDT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN GAS OR LAMP FIXTURES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,854, dated October 2, 1877; application filed August 22, 1877.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BERNHARDT T. STEIN- HARDT, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas or Lamp Fixtures, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 represents a side elevation, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view, partly in section.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

My improvement has for its object to carry off the products of combustion from a room in which gas or a lamp is burned; and it consists in the combination of a bracket forming a gassupply pipe and having one or more gas-burners, or forming a support for one ormore lamps, with one or more ventilating-pipes, each having a mouthpiece arranged above the point of said burners or the lamps,and areceiver to which said ventilating-pipes are connected, and which has a discharge-pipe, so that the products of combustion rising from said burners or lamps are caught by the mouth-pieces of said ventilating-pipes and conducted to the receiver, whence they may be carried to the open air; also, in locating the receiver above named at a point above the burners or the lamps, and providing the same with inlet-holes in the lower part thereof, so that the products of combustion which escape the mouth-piece of said ventilating-pipes are caught by said inlet-holes, and thereby caused to pass directly into the receiver.

In the drawing, the letter A designates a I bracket, which, in the example shown, is made hollow, and forms a gas-supply pipe, while it is provided with two gas-burners, B B. Above each of the burners B B is situated an inverted cup, 0, which forms a mouth-piece for a ventilating-pipe, D, said cup or mouth-piece being secured to one end of the pipe D, while the other end of the pipe is connected to a receiver,

E, which has the form of a box and is provided with a discharge-pipe, F. (See Fig. 2.) When the gas issuing from either of the burners B B is lighted, the products of combustion are caught by the mouth-piece O, and thence conducted through the ventilating pipe or pipes I) to the receiver E, whence they can obviously be carried to the open air through the discharge-pipe F.

The receiver E is situated at a point above the gas-burners B B, and in the example shown it is affiXed to the bracket A, while it is provided with a series of holes, g, in the lower part thereof, communicating with the room in which the burners are located. By placing the receiver E above the gas-burners, it is adapted to catch any products of combustion which escape the mouth-piece C of the ventilating-pipes, said products being permitted to enter the receiver through its holes g, thus thoroughly ventilating the room.

It is obvious that the number of gas-bumers and of the ventilating-pipes may be increased to any desired extent, and, if desired, moreover, the bracket A may be made solid, and lamps substituted for the gas-burners.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- In combination with the bracket A and the ventilating-tubes D and mouth-pieces O, the receiver E, located above the mouth-pieces, provided with apertures 9 leading into the room in which the burners are located, and connected with an exit-pipe, F, for ventilating the room in which the burners are located, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 15th day of August, 1877.
